SQRIL scales its stablecoin QR operations to Africa.
The company has revealed that it will be scaling its stablecoin-to-fiat conversion and QR solutions to new countries across Africa. Specifically, SQRIL is helping local fintechs to pay businesses and merchants in stablecoins across Tanzania, South Africa and Kenya.
Founder and CEO Malcolm Weed expressed:
"Africa represents one of the world's fastest-growing markets for stablecoin utility. By integrating stablecoins directly into the local fabric of mobile money and QR codes in Tanzania, Kenya, and South Africa, we are removing the final barriers for digital asset holders to 'pay like a local' across the continent."
Earlier this year, Tether invested into SQRIL as the global QR payments sector grew dramatically in 2025 with better 4G/5G infrastructure build outs across developing countries.
Out of the countries mentioned and their local fiat-backed stablecoins, ZAR (South African Rand) currently leads in stablecoin adoption with approximately $5.9M in supply per Dune.
